filename problem

think i got a bug here. files that have double dots at the end wont download. for example if the filename is "foobar..mp3" it will say file or folder not found. if you remove one dot it works fine.

Post a screenshot of the directory displayed in SmartFTP, the raw directory listing and the session log.

Thanks

Its the Atomic Junkies - a.t.o.m.i.c. j.u.n.k.i.e.s..ogg that i cant download, my guess is that .. is enterpreted as a parent dir or something. Tell me if you want a screenshot to to solve this but im not able to make one right now...

EDIT: Tried cuteftp also, and both SmartFTP and cuteftp says i have no permission to download but if i remove one of the dots at the end i have permission so must be a bug of some kind... maybe its the ftp-server that does something fishy??

and i tell you its kind of ftp server bug. e.g. guild ftp has it.
they do it for hack prevention.

ok, hmm, isnt there some way to get by this, i mean, maybe you could enable some unicode or something on the commands to let it through? Anyways the fptserver in question is bulletproof ftpserver (former g6). If nothing else work ill just let the operator rename them i guess since that works...

how to work around it? the filename contains ".." this is blocked by the server. if your client issues a "GET filename" the server decides i block files with ".." in it and give you an access denied.

Oki, i just thought there was a safe way to handle them at the server side, guess not. oh well ill just have to got ahold of that admin and have him change the names..
